What people say
Mexican restaurants are known for their bold and flavourful dishes, and Zambrero Balaclava in Melbourne is no exception. What sets this restaurant apart is their commitment to ethical eating, serving only 100% RSPCA Approved higher welfare chicken. Their meats are slow-cooked for up to 18 hours, ensuring that every bite is tender and juicy. But it's not just the meat that's impressive - their salsas and guac are made fresh every single day, making for a truly authentic Mexican experience. And with fully customisable options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or dairy-free diets, everyone can enjoy a delicious meal at Zambrero Balaclava. Plus, their current offer of adding a drink and corn chips dusted with their famous Zam spice to any meal for just $5 is an unbeatable deal. So whether you're team juicy burrito or team cheesy nachos (or both!), Zambrero Balaclava has got you covered.
